The Pears Cumbria School of Medicine is a collaborative medical school created by The University of Cumbria and Imperial College London, with support from Pears Foundation. It plans to open in 2025, with an initial cohort of 50 graduate-entry medical students based at the University of Cumbria's Fusehill Street Campus in Carlisle.[1][2][3]

First announced in April 2022[4], the medical school was cited in the 2023 National Health Service Long Term Workforce Plan as a 'good example' of addressing geographical inequality by 'focusing new medical schools and additional places in geographical areas with the greatest staff shortfalls and unmet healthcare need'.[5]
